Can I use an auto Import/cron job for this?

[KNM Computers]

also i have had support back from the company that my hosting is with and i got a command off them but when i made the cron job it said no input file specified, he then told me "make sure i have the right path" i tell him they gave me the path and it was php -q /home/username/plubic_html/admin/cron1.php

then he then sent me this:

I have looked at your cron job settings and no command is entered. You may need to seek advice from the scripts publisher, they should offer setup support.

am i suppose to put a command in the cron1.php file?

Sounds like they have no idea what they're talking about.

the cron1.php file IS the command


It's possible their server can't run PHP scripts via cron because their CLI (command-line-interface) version of PHP isn't properly configured.

ok this is what fusion uk say:

We have checked and could see that the path which you have mentioned in the cron file was wrong.

==
/home/username/plubic_html/admin/cron1.php
==

We have corrected the path. Please check it now.

==
root@srv9 [/home2/username/public_html/admin]# crontab -lu username
MAILTO="[email protected]"
0 * * * * php -q /home2/username/public_html/admin/cron1.php
==

so i tryed that one and it didnt work so they say:

The root access is disabled on our shared servers for security reasons.

The root access is being called from a php file not the command line. We advise you to seek support from the script publisher.

im begining to think they know nothing and im a noob

they say they have amended it and should work but again it did not but i did get an email saying:

no it did not work, this is the email it sent:

<br />
<b>Parse error</b>: syntax error, unexpected T_REQUIRE in <b>/home2/isername/public_html/admin/cron1.php</b> on line <b>3</b><br />
